Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, it covers every noun use of correspondent: reporters filing from abroad, people who exchange letters, and things that match one another as counterparts. Only the noun takes the ending. When correspondent is an adjective meaning 'corresponding' or 'conforming', it stays unchanged even beside a plural noun, so the -s form always signals the noun.
